At a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is given as one atmospheric pressure and 5 liters. When the atmospheric pressure is increased to 2 atm, then what is the volume of the gas?(a) 1 liter(b) 5 liters(c) 10 liters(d) 2.5 litersThe question was asked in an interview for job.The origin of the question is States of Matter in portion States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (d) 2.5 liters

For explanation I would say: As we know that, Boyle’s law states at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to its volume so P1V1 equals to P2V2 by SUBSTITUTING P1 as one atmospheric pressure V1 as 5 liters P1 as to atmospheric pressure we get V2 as 5/2 that is 2.5 liters.
